The rise and rise of the petrol price in South Africa

It's no secret, the price of petrol is constantly on the rise, but just how much has fuel spiked in the last 10 years? The answer is a lot, in fact over 339% in South African according to an infographic released by Cars.co.za earlier this month.

The graphic plots the South African price of both petrol and diesel over the last 10 years, from humble beginnings around the R3.00 mark in 2003, up to their astronomic recent figures of over R12.00 per litre.
